There was a cake for all the residents and staff in the common room. We celebrated in the family room. Oma received so many flowers - her room looks and smells amazing! Kristen made Dzelten Maize (yellow sweet bread) in the shape of a 100. Art sent some homemade Latvian rye bread up from Atlanta and Aunt Mara made little sandwiches. There was also Piragi and a chocolate whipped cream cake. The Doves came down from Leland for the party and Ilze's friend Ilze (not a typo) also came by. Some of Oma's Hospice nurses came in with flowers for her and joined the party. One of them even learned some Latvian songs and she and Oma sang together.
It was a very nice party - Oma really seemed to enjoy herself. We are going to do another small party this weekend as well. When you turn 100, one party just isn't enough!
